Parent Information

At Eton Manor we believe in working in partnership with parents, schools, extended families and anyone who is involved with the individual child, to ensure that all children are provided with the best possible standard of care and education. All children have individual education plans that are written in conjunction with the children’s parents. This ensures that everybody involved with the child is working towards the same goals, meaning that the children are able to achieve, develop and thrive. We aim to develop effective partnerships with parents in order to enhance the learning and development of the children for whom we care.

We respect, value and understand the contribution of the parents to the child’s learning and believe we share with parents a joint interest in, and responsibility for, children’s development and learning.

We believe that parents, the nursery team, and other carers such as nannies, babysitters, childminders and the extended family, contribute to building children’s self-esteem and dispositions to learn, although they bring different perspectives and expertise.

Children usually feel more confident and positive about themselves and their learning when nursery staff, parents and other carers work together in an atmosphere of mutual respect.

To help to build these partnerships we communicate extensively with our parents including children’s feedback sheets, questionnaires, newsletters, parent evenings and educational events. Most importantly however the nursery management team and your child’s key worker are available at any time for discussions with parents or other carers.

Parent Nursery Association
We pride ourselves on maintaining positive and effective relationships with parents and carers.

The nursery holds regular Parent Nursery Association (PNA) meetings with self nominated parent representatives. The purpose of these meetings is to ensure that all parents have a voice, and that parents feel supported and encouraged to contribute their views and ideas.

Details of the PNA representatives together with copies of the PNA meeting minutes are displayed in the nursery.

We always welcome contributors to the PNA; to become a member and have your say on all aspects of the nursery, contact us today.
